matt 6 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 I've just fitted the following: H&S Backbox H&S Back pipe with large silencer H&S Overpipe I'm quite surprised at how loud the car is under light throttle. Car is quite loud on startup from cold (when rev's are higher). It also has a very deep tone. I was expecting something only slightly louder than stock under light throttle, with more noise near the top end. Does this sound normal? Plus I thought the H&S with large silencer would be one of the quietest on the market..... I brought the exhaust second hand, so its already has carbon'd up nicely, so not expecting a change in noise. Thanks, Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 It's certainly throaty, I don't think it's too loud. I'd consider a re-map to quieten it down on the cold startups if you're concerned about neighbors in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt 6 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks Rob. It's probably not that loud in comparison to other exhausts. I'd like to hear a resonated milltek in the flesh though. As for the startup noise, I can get round it by putting it straight into drive or reverse (auto gear box). If I remap it I would probably like the increased startup revs at cold removed. There is a slight drone in the cabin at cruising speeds, but its very slight, I've certainly been in worse. Do you know anyone in Harrogate, Leeds are or surround with a resonated milltek? Long shot I know..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 Unfortunately not, though Lauren has a non resonated Milltek in Manchester. Closest I can get you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt 6 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks Rob! If I cant find a resonated, I might drop her a PM. Manchester isn't a million miles away, I only work about an hour away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTB 53 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 I originally had the H & S system with unresonated centre section. Found it great. When the Sprintex went on the 2nd cat was removed and a Cobra decat (resonated) pipe put in its place. Now it is fantastic. Deep at low revs but when you open it up it has a real growl to it. On Map 2 it is sensational. Was going to quieten it but not now, love it to bits ! It has unleashed a bit of the flat 4 burble and is a great pensioner / grockle scarer on Bognor seafront !
